Hurry up and move!!
Saturday September 1st.

I cant go now, so have got 2 tickets for the morning (starts at 9) and the afternoon (think it starts about 2) for grabs if anyone wants them - I cant get onto the "sell them back" page to do it through the 2012 website :mad:

If anyone here is interested, i paid £40 for the four (and much as Id love to give them away, Im too poor so would appreciate some sort of donation for them!), and you get the oyster card as well, give me a shout and i will post them out special delivery tomorrow and you'll have them Friday...

:D, nutter ;) I think it's meant to be just the riders, though Im sure if you had a horse the same it could be more favourably marked.... there were two horses electrocuted at the word championships (I think) a few years ago (might even have been the last paras - don't recall the exact details but it was definately some big disabled dressage championships....) if it helps, the blind and partially sighted riders are allowed callers - not sure how that helps them know where the letters are unless there are people at each one calling out each letter as they go past....

Are the horses or the riders disabled?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

the blind and partially sighted riders are allowed callers

Worst job is being a judge in the blind archery. End up looking like something out of one of those cowboy and indian films

Wish I could go :( I saw Lee Pearson at Wembley with Carl Heston and how Lee manages to get his horse to do what it does is amazing! (He had a microphone on to explain how he does it and admitted that the horse doesnt actually like him!)
 
Just dropped my old woman and her sister at the station on their way to the dressage at Greenwich. Are you there Trud?
 
Wow wish I had taken them up now Trud!! Although its not my favourite discipline would love to have been able to say I was there to see more Gold!
